We’ve condensed each restaurant review into a short synopsis, designed to give you an overview and help with quick decision-making!

SODUS AREA RESTAURANTS
1.      Orbakers4793 NY-104, Williamson, NY 14589   
Open since 1932, this drive-in restaurant has a distinct ‘60’s diner feel - complete with tons of burger options and malts to die for. Orbaker’s is the perfect stop for a quick lunch or dinner if you’re in a hurry. While known for their all-American grill options like burgers, hot dogs and fries, the restaurant also serves a nice variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and even steak. Or, Orbaker’s is a great stop if you’re craving an ice cream cone – they offer soft-serve as well as dozens of Perry’s hard icecream flavors to choose from – perfect for a hot summer day! Seating available at the bar and outside, as well as their semi-new air-conditioned dining hall addition.


2.     El Rincon6974 Ridge Rd, Sodus NY 14551 

If you like Mexican food, El Rincon is the place for you. This restaurant serves the most authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine we have ever had – and for an affordable price, too. The influx of migrant workers in the Sodus area due to the seasonal fruit farming industry allowed for the inception of this delicious eatery. And the inside is filled with festive decorations – bright colors and cultural ornaments that, when paired with the authentic dishes, will make you feel like you stepped right into Mexico.

3Bad to the Bone BBQ5120 NY-104, Williamson, NY
If you’re planning a party or get together with friends, and need a catered meal – look no further than Bad to the Bone Barbeque.

5. Burnap’s7277 Maple Ave. Exd, Sodus NY 
Burnap’s Farm Market and Garden Cafe is typically known best for the “farm market” part of their title over the “garden café” part.
